Quantum announces reference architecture for Autonomous Driving Systems and Industrial AI/ML application development

<p>Combines ultra-fast automotive & mil-spec NVMe edge storage device with powerful StorNext software to capture, manage, and enrich vast quantities of sensor data to drive the future of autonomous vehicles</p>

PR Newswire

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 31, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Quantum Corporation (NASDAQ: QMCO) today announced the release of a new end-to-end reference architecture for Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Autonomous Driving (AD) systems. By enhancing the acquisition, movement, storage, and curation of the data necessary to develop autonomous vehicle software, the unique architecture is designed to address the specific needs of every stage of ADAS/AD development. It enables autonomous vehicle developers to unleash the power of their data and spearhead the next era of self-driving innovation.

“Although still relatively nascent, organizations developing autonomous vehicles are at a crossroads,” said Jamie Lerner, president and CEO, Quantum. “The volume of data being captured is increasing exponentially, presenting an urgent need for speed, capacity and cost-efficiency in the data management lifecycle. As the experts in unstructured data capture, storage, management, and enrichment, we are leading the way in delivering a complete portfolio of end-to-end solutions and lab-proven technology that delivers the industry’s best performance, capacity and scalability—all requirements for ADAS/AD solutions–at a fraction of the cost. This new reference architecture empowers ADAS developers to build the self-driving vehicles of tomorrow.”

The vast amount of data generated during autonomous vehicle development illustrates the scale of  challenges faced by AV manufacturers. The test vehicles typically capture terabytes of sensor data per hour generated by multiple video cameras, LiDARs, and Radars. ADAS/AD development systems rely on collecting and processing these large amounts of unstructured data to build sophisticated Machine Learning (ML) models and algorithms, requiring intelligent and efficient data management. By utilizing the new end-to-end reference architecture, developers take advantage of Quantum’s complete portfolio of end-to-end data management solutions that deliver the level of performance, capacity and scalability required for ADAS/AD systems. 

About the Reference Architecture 
The data processing in an AV development system starts with capturing data in a test vehicle. The Quantum R6000 is an ultra-fast automotive & mil-spec edge storage device explicitly developed for high-speed data capture in challenging, rugged environments including car, truck, airplane, and other moving vehicles. It provides a large data storage capacity necessary for the in-vehicle logger to store the collected sensor data for an extended period of time, all in a small form factor that makes it well suited for self-driving test vehicles. The R6000 is designed to withstand the demands of a rugged environment and is purpose-built for high availability and reliability. Once data is captured, the R6000 removable storage canister enables quick data offload and on-the-road replacement, allowing cars to stay in service and reduce vehicle downtime.

Data is then uploaded to the Quantum award-winning StorNext™ File System for processing. StorNext has demonstrated the fastest overall response times for video data using independent benchmark testing, and has the ability to process thousands of concurrent streams at high throughput. Further, StorNext software includes a policy engine with options to place and manage data on NVMe, HDD, object storage, cloud, and tape. This unique data management capability enables full and efficient use of the analytics infrastructure across multiple tiers.

With Quantum, once the ML model training and verification is complete and new models developed and deployed, the massive data sets required for future ML development can be retained on low-cost storage providing the right balance between the highest performance and best economics. Quantum singularly delivers a powerful portfolio of end-to-end solutions that can tier the data to the location that is the most efficient and cost-effective, are built specifically for ADAS/AD rugged environments and have the necessary performance, capacity and scalability to effectively manage the data across the entire lifecycle.  

“Autonomous vehicle manufacturers are capturing massive amounts of roadway data, and then using that data to design, develop, and validate algorithms that can power self-driving cars. The challenge they’re grappling with is how to effectively extract insights, integrate with other pieces of their architecture, and retain that data for longer periods of time,” said Graham Cousens, ADAS/Autonomous Vehicle Solutions practice lead, Quantum. “These are challenges that Quantum has been solving for over 40 years in other sectors. Based on solutions that have been proven to outperform the competition in lab testing  – driven by the powerful StorNext File System and our ultra-fast automotive & mil-spec R6000 in-vehicle data storage device – this new reference architecture is set to streamline and power the future of autonomous vehicles development.”

To discover more about Quantum’s solutions for connected and autonomous vehicles, meet our technical director, Plamen Minev, at the Autonomous Vehicles 2021 Exhibition and Conference at The Waterfront Beach Resort, Huntington Beach, California. He’ll be sharing how to overcome key data collection and management challenges on Thursday September 2, from 9:40-10:10 a.m. PT.

Jack Henry Launches SecurePort, a Sheltered Harbor Solution

<p> Partnership provides financial institutions with access to data vaulting, resiliency planning and disaster recovery to protect customers in the event of a catastrophic attack </p>

PR Newswire


MONETT, Mo.
, Aug. 31, 2021/PRNewswire/ — Jack Henry & Associates, Inc.® (NASDAQ:JKHY) is a leading provider of technology solutions and payment processing services primarily for the financial services industry. Its Jack Henry Banking® division today introduced SecurePort, a Sheltered Harbor® solution. SecurePort is available to banks using the SilverLake System® core to help provide end users with timely access to their account balances and funds should critical systems and traditional backups fail.

SecurePort helps bankers prepare for a worst-case scenario that could cause an institution’s crucial systems and backups to fail. The solution includes moving critical data into a secure vault that is encrypted, unchangeable and completely separated from the bank’s infrastructure, and resiliency planning with a designated restoration platform. It is the only Sheltered Harbor Solution available that uses the Amazon S3 Glacier for its vaulting provider. The data
is stored in at least three geographically-dispersed zones, provides 99.999999999% durability and can be restored in 30 minutes or less. No tape drives or other dated systems can restore systems with that speed.



Sheltered Harbor


is a not-for-profit, industry-led initiative founded by 34 financial institutions, clearinghouses, core processing providers, and industry associations including Jack Henry & Associates, the American Bankers Association (ABA), Financial Services Forum (FSF), Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA), Credit Union National Association (CUNA), National Association of Federal Credit Unions (NAFCU) and Financial Services Information Sharing and Analysis Center (FS-ISAC). Jack Henry has been working to help define and build the current requirements for this initiative since 2015.


Las Vegas-based Meadows Bank is a SecurePort early adaptor. Dennis D. Stephens, CISM, CDPSE, senior vice president and information systems manager at the bank commented, “Our top priority as a local community bank is to protect our client’s financial wellbeing, especially in times of crisis. SecurePort delivers an added layer of protection to our information security program that helps us to secure critical customer data and ensures that our community has access to their funds at all times. It’s comforting to know that Jack Henry thinks of our safety and our futures; they are a partner that we can rely on in these areas

.”


Carlos Recalde, President and CEO of Sheltered Harbor said, “The ability to quickly recover critical customer services is necessary to protect consumers and overall confidence in the financial system. Through Sheltered Harbor, the industry has agreed to prepare for extreme outages that were once seen as improbable but are now becoming more likely. Solutions such as SecurePort are a valuable way to enhance the financial sector’s stability.”


Jack Henry plans to continue to build out its data recovery process in close collaboration with Sheltered Harbor partners. Its other cores, CIF 20/20

In a world of highly connected, integrated systems, SecurePort is a wise precaution. It’s yet another layer in the defense against cyber-attacks; a final opportunity to protect public confidence in an event of catastrophic proportions. The result can protect a bank’s brand, their customers’ financial wellbeing, and our industry’s reputation.”
